Ratings and Reviews
Polished app
This is a really polished utility for drawing on your screen during presentations or while recording videos. I've been using it with SideCar, my iPad and an Apple Pencil. It's slick.
I especially appreciate the fading ink option. It allows me to draw attention to aspects of the screen during a presentation but then fades away to make room for new stuff. This is optional, of course.
I wish it were more clear what you get for free and what you have to purchase in-app. For me, the $5.49CDN was definitely worth the upgrade price.
Update: I've been giving this steady use for several months now. Still rates the high praise.
Excellent!
This is PERFECT for screen recordings. I'm a teacher....with keyboard click I can change my pen colour or my pen size. This makes online tutorials really easy. This is easier to use than what Khan Academy uses!
With another click I can use my mouse as a mouse...it's really each to go between computer control and drawing.
Thank you! This is awesome.
